Hello Deryaa I'm afraid it doesn't get easier. It depends on a comparison between certain events in the Old Testament and certain events in English history, So first, you have to look up the Old Testament, 2 Samuel xv-xvii. There you'll read the story of how Achitophel conspired against David, with Absalom.

- Dryden wrote the poem in 1681 to comment on these events.
